Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

RR BBQ Tour - Come One, Come All

Hi, Hello, & Welcome from the West Side aka the BEST SIDE! It's your favorite malcontent with a heart of gold, and I'm here to invite you to the latest installment of summer fun on Red Reporter.

After the success of last year's burger tour (The first stop was EPIC, and then there was the time I tried to kill myself), it has been decided that we're going to do it again this year. Since burgers are sooooooooooo last year we're attempting to find the best BBQ in the Queen City this time around. obc, 'tHan, BK, Ash, Mads, & myself will be involved as always, but we need YOUR help to make this great.

   There have been many who have accused Red Reporter of being cliquish, and to be honest I can see where they may get that impression. We tend to beat the hell out of inside jokes, some of which stretch WAY back (remember how great 'nukkah's mom was in bed or how bitchtits came rumbling in from LF? How many kids do I have?). It can be unnerving to come to a Reds blog and see us all running around like chickens with our heads cut off arguing about God, trains, smoking, Mac vs. PCs, cats vs. dogs, etc. It also doesn't help that we all tend to look after each other in a "I can argue with/make fun of them all I want, but how dare you????" sort of way, which only fosters a separatist environment.

 

   I'm here to dispel any notion of a clique. I want to inspire all of you readers-not-posters to come out of your shell and become one of us. We're good people and better yet, most of us actually know what we're talking about when it come to Reds baseball. I personally promise to take care of you if you post a dissenting opinion and are unfairly attacked. No one here likes me as it is, so it'll be us against the world baby. :)

   For the BBQ tour, I'm calling out each and every one of you lurkers with this offer - for any member of this site that I have never met in person (I can look this shit up, you best be registered fool) who walks up to me at a RR BBQ tour stop this summer, I will buy you one drink of your choice ($10 max, I'm not made of money here people). We're an affable group; easy to get along with, fun to be around, and easy to take home if you wink and shake your hips just right. I'm looking at you, johnu1. I think if we manage to get you and Mads in the same room Hunter S. Thompson might come back to life just to see what the fuck all the commotion is about.

 

   Some of RR's greatest moments have occurred when we've met up in person and realized, "Hey, these guys are pretty normal!". Slyde makes the occasional guest appearance, as well as snohio, farney, and a host of other familiar names. My ultimate vision in all of this is for people to put a face and voice (more importantly a tone of voice) to an online moniker. It makes a huge difference when you can "hear" someone making a snarky comment and infer that they're just being silly and not attacking one of your core beliefs.

   Now that I'm done rambling and trying to heal the fractured userbase of RR, let's get down to business. Since Mads bowls on Wednesdays, we're going to do this on Thursdays this year. The generally agreed upon time to meet is 7:00 PM Cincinnati time. I'm nominating March 18th (one week from yesterday) as our first stop. I understand that this 'tHan's birthday, but it's also the first day of the NCAA tournament and that brings with it the prospect of drink/food specials and good times had by all. If anyone has a huge issue with this day, express your concerns below and be prepared for me to dismiss them out of hand.

  The biggest question is, where do we eat? I've narrowed our first week choices to

 

the following with website, a general location, and review courtesy of yelp.com:

Jim Dandy's Family BBQ - (Sharonville)REVIEW   

Big Art's - (Northgate) - REVIEW

Walt's BBQ - (Colerain) - REVIEW

Q's Raxx(useless site, don't click) - (Arlington Heights, sort of) - REVIEW(@urbanspoon, since this place is new)

For those of you who are about to say something dumb along the lines of "OMG WTF WHERE THELL IS MONTGOMERY INN?"......I promise you, there is a plan. I'll mix in some of the heavy favorites as we go along, but I want to give the local places a decent shot.

Geographically speaking, you should do Jim Dandy's, then Big Art's, then Walt's, then KT BBQ, then BBQ Revue

And if you’re into BBQ chains, then City BBQ, of which I recommend the Hyde Park location

I haven’t heard anything good about Q’s Raxx, or Pit to Plate.

BBQ Revue will win this year’s battle, mark it, dude.

The Hartford area lacks BBQ

There’s 1 joint, Black Eyed Sally’s which is more cajun/creole than BBQ.

I guess there’s just no market for it up here.

I've eaten at the one in Eastgate & Hyde Park

Eastgate was a memorable experience for the wrong reasons, but I also chalk that up to the clientele as much as the screwed up order.

When I was a tennant @ tOSU, I hit up the one in Upper Arlington weekly. Their brisket was surprisingly good.

yessir

the brisket is tremendous. i dont know if they still run it, but last summer they had a special on Mondays where the sampler platter was only like 10 bucks. and it was plenty enough to feed both the Mrs. and myself. that and a birch beer and you got yerself some good eatin’.

It's very possible it'll come down to Walt's or BBQ Revue

Although Jim Dandy’s and Big Art’s certainly are no slouches.

With so few established BBQ joints for the Tri-State area, I feel that in order to gain notoriety and reputation you have to do it damn well. With the burger joints, it seems like there were really only maybe 5 that specialized in their burger (TTC, Gordo’s, Zip’s, Bard’s, Arthur’s), although countless other joints offered/served a burger, ya know?

I don't know that blowing City BBQ away is all that of an accomplishment

It’s good for the BBQ curious, to see if you like BBQ. It’s good, but nothing City BBQ does is great. I would never specifically go to City BBQ for any one particular menu item.

Now if it blows Walt’s away, that’s an accomplishment. I will specifically go to Walt’s to get their Spicy Sausage and Sauerkraut, or their Yer Choice (Pork & Brisket, of course) with cornbread, saratoga chips and hot german potato salad, although if I’m feeling extra starchy I’ll go with the mac & cheese and mashed potatoes instead.

by Highlifeman21 on Mar 13, 2010 1:24 PM EST up reply actions  

Well, I was just comparing Rib City to other chain-type places.

I’d agree that City BBQ doesn’t do anything great, but they do everything fairly well. I love Walt’s brisket and they do other things well, but everything at Rib City is just phenomenal. Order the bacon cheese fries w/ spicy ranch for an appetizer (it’s good for you, I promise) then move onto the sliced pork/beef/turkey/chicken and some high-quality side items. Everything comes with this melt in your mouth garlic bread/texas toast type deal and they’ve got three or four homemade sauces for whatever your taste may be. They used to have nights where you could get 10 oz beers for a quarter, but I don’t know if that’s still around. Definitely my go-to BBQ place, and Walt’s is considerably closer to my house.

No, not at all

BBQ chicken really isn’t my thing, since I typically find inconsistency from place to place. Some places get moisture from their sauce, others have overly moist chicken with crappy sauce. The real stinker is when you have really dry chicken with really crappy sauce. I’ve had chicken at a place one time and it’s great, and the next time it’s crappy. I just don’t get it. Maybe it’s the chicken.

I like chicken but all the expert preparation and world-renowned sauces don’t change the fact that this fella doesn’t like to eat skin and/or suck bones.

"Let's get this movie. We already have the underwear."

by Fat Vegas Alan on Mar 15, 2010 10:30 AM EDT up reply actions  

I hear ya

Chicken wings are probably one of the toughest foods/categories to judge. Me? I like mine a little more on the crispy side, not overly saucy, and prefer drumsticks. My good buddy, he loves underdone wings, a tad chewy and the more sauce the better. Don’t even get me started on the breaded vs naked wings. There is just no right answer!

It seems the “popular” wing places up here are known exclusively for their sauces, which I interpret as they don’t know how to properly cook a chicken wing to my standards, and drown the poor thing in sauce. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy a full, flavorful sauce, but I don’t want it to be the star of the show.

Same thing with my BBQ. I love a great smoke ring, little bit of char on the outside, tender succulent meat, but I want the protein to be the star of the show rather than the sauce taking the limelight. I suppose that’s why I’ve never cared for Montgomery Inn, since I think their sauce is way too sweet for my taste buds, and they make their sauce the star of the show, which says to me that their food sucks and they try and skate by on the popularity of their sauce.

except nasty. He likes nasty wings. And he doesn’t like heat or spice. He basically likes sweet stuff that just drips off his wings, and more often than not ends up on his cheeks and chin.

He appreciates great Scotch though, so he’s got that goin’ for him.

Having been to Duff's and Anchor Bar in Buffalo, surprisingly enough I enjoyed neither

I love heat and spice, but their wings were too dry, but I did appreciate their crispiness.

I actually prefer a nicely dry-rubbed wing that’s been deep fried with a nice crust, and then lightly sauced.

All this wing talk looks like a forecast to 2011, the RR Wing Tour!

I disagree with you pretty much entirely

well-cooked meat is fantastic, obviously, but I can’t help it. If the sauce is fantastic, I’ll eat everything and love it. I’d love to be a BBQ snob but it’s just not in me, it’s all about the sauce.

BTW, best beef (rib/brisket/whatevs) sauce will always, always, have red wine in it.

Korean BBQ is a completely different animal

While it’s technically BBQ (due to sauce alone), the cooking methods/processes are radically different.

At least I think so…

by Highlifeman21 on Mar 15, 2010 9:21 AM EDT up reply actions  

Do Koreans make stir fry?

Their BBQ is mighty tasty, but I wouldn’t put it up against Texas BBQ, Memphis BBQ, Carolina BBQ or Kansas City BBQ. Comparing apples to oranges to bananas to pineapples.

Hell, of the mainstream US BBQ regions, they don’t even have the same sauce base. Some are ketchup/tomato, some molasses, some vinegar. How do you compare those? It’s like comparing Chicago-style against NYC-style against New Haven-style (which sucks btw, learn to make a pizza, Connecticut) for pizza.

People from New Haven are just silly in general

New Haven has a turf war

Frank Pepe’s vs Sally’s. Food Network and The Travel Channel have both done pieces on these pieces of shit pizza places. In the Hartford area, we now have Joey Garlic’s, which tries to do their take on New Haven style. Waste of time and money.

New Haven’s actually the rumored birthplace of the burger, at this place.

Travel Channel recently named that place the #1 chowdown spot in America, on their Chowdown Countdown. Talk about a fucking letdown. One of the worst burgers I’ve ever had. Quatman’s actually does a better burger than this burger birthplace.

Honestly, good food is the one thing I miss most since moving to CT. They do decent seafood up here, which you’d hope being so close to fresh ingredients. Apparently my taste buds just don’t jive with their other local delicacies, aside from kielbasa. Being 1/2 Polish, I appreciate good kielbasa, and up in New Britain they have some damn fine kielbasa.

The only good thing about living in CT is I’m 90 minutes from either NYC or Boston, either location I can find some damn good food.

there’s only so much hummus one can eat. there’s no such thing as a good burger, zero bbq anything, and i am dying for a good chicken wing. i’m almost out of frank’s red hot sauce and they don’t have it here. i put tabasco on everything because it’s the only thing available to spice things up.

Yeah, I never really thought about it but now that ya mention it..

given the choice that’s probably why I always choose Indian (and sometimes Chinese) over Greek.

We have some good/great Greek and Mediterranean food in Columbus but there are times I’d rather eat at Panda Express. It’s not good but it can bring the heat.

yeah, i ate chinese a couple of days ago so i could have some spice

there are only like three indian restaurants in beirut, and they’re all in the suburbs. i eat indian food all the time, so it’s tough not being able to. there’s a new persian restaurant i want to try soon.

i love greek food, more than lebanese, but i can’t seem to find any greek restaurants. guess when i go to cyprus next month (to watch opening day – have to go somewhere where i can get live streaming video!) i’ll have that chance.

there really isn’t much variety in restaurants, surprising for being such a large city. and despite having a sizable filipino population, there are no filipino restaurants.

The Greek food and home recipes are definite bonuses though. There are a couple of great Greek / Med. places in Hilliard that we frequent quite often, for those near Columbus that happen to be interested in Greek food.

I wonder why hot pepper never caught on there?

Peppers are a new world plant, and not really traditional anywhere in Eurasia. Yet some places adopted them so thoroughly that it’s hard to imagine their cuisine without it. Like Hunan/Szechuan, a lot of Filipino food, etc.

It's a very diverse country

There are almost 200 different languages spoken there.

But the kind of food served in the Manila area is sort of a mix of Spanish and Chinese, along with some Polynesian.

Adobo is a signature dish. It’s drier than Spanish adobo, with soy sauce and vinegar. Lechon (whole roasted pig) is another signature dish. Dishes that show the Asian influence include lumpia (thin, crispy egg rolls) and pancit (Filipino lo mein).

An infamous dish I’ve never tried: balut. Duck or chicken embryos. I like eggs, and I like poultry, but I don’t wanna eat fetuses.

Overall, the dominant flavors are hot pepper and vinegar – the food tastes very hot and sour to American tastebuds.

Hungarian is all about the pepper

Goulash, Paprikash, all that sort of stuff. It’s probably their thing.

If any of y’all end up in Cleveland, I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Outside of that, there’s a lot of pepper in Turkish cuisine, but less as a seasoning than as a vegetable. Stuffed peppers, peppers on salads, etc. If you get a kebab anywhere from Athens to Beijing, it’s going to be served with a grilled hot pepper on the side.

no ferries in Lebanon

lebanese food is mediterranean, syrian is middle eastern. sure there’s some overlap but they are two separate cultures (despite syria’s best attempts.)

french food is for the maronites. there are many french restaurants in a higher priced part of town, but i’m not into the pretentious bullshit that goes with it. and i’m not much of a fan of french food, anyway, with all of that heavy cream sauce.

there’s an overpriced argentinian steakhouse i might try soon. i don’t know what the difference between argentinian steak and texas steak is.

Read an article this morning that reminded me of this quasi-foodie thread.
Soon after the United States "discovered" salsa in the 1980s, it soared to popularity, famously outselling ketchup by 1992. American cooks flirted with peach salsa and corn salsa, while supermarket salsa evolved into a thick, sweet mix.

But on its global journey, salsa as it is actually made in Mexico often became lost.

Irma Verdejo, an owner of Tulcingo del Valle in Hell’s Kitchen, said that her customers often see it as a generic mix-and-match condiment.

"I fight with people about salsa all the time," she said. "They want to put this salsa with that dish, or they want it more spicy, or less spicy. And they always think it should be free."

Javier Olmedo, a Oaxaca University student and aspiring chef, said: "Watching someone shovel in salsa with tortilla chips is strange to Mexicans. Like how an American would feel watching someone drink salad dressing out of the bottle."

Not bad. Especially for the price.

The corn bread was the sweetest I’ve ever had. (That’s not a good thing for me but some folks dig it.)

They don’t have french fries and they don’t have hush puppies. We had green beans and Mac’n’Cheese for our sides. Both were very good. I wolfed down their pulled pork sammich so I guess it was pretty good too.

I won’t take your time with a full review other than to say that it’s worth considering if you want to save a few bucks that Hoggy’s and City Barbecue would take from your pockets.

Christ on a cheerleader..I just worked it out to be able slide out of work early to go there…I’ve never heard of Barnesburgher’s. Anyway I thought we’d changed from burghers to BBQ…is this at 5761 Springdale Road ? that’s like in Tri-County…right?
Shit…reasons I can’t attend:
1. Springdale is the new Lincoln heights and I’m ‘wanted’ there.
2. tHan ain’t going
3. Jim Dandy’s is right up the street from where I’m presently working
4. I’m doing BBQ and not burghers
5. this place looks like a country bar…but a modern country bar…not a good old boy funky country bar.
6. snohio can’t come
7. I’ve never been to a country bar that has offered good pulled pork sandwiches
8. I believe that this place is technically on the west side
9. Thursday nite special is overpriced -
Thursday Dinner Special:
8oz Ribeye Steak Dinner
USDA Choice fresh handcut steak
Served with choice of two sides.
$12.99

10. No pole dancing.

So when do we hit Jim Dandy’s – next Thursday?
